HAYDEN IN OFFICE
VACATED BY BOYLE
Ousted Head of Education Board
Fights Removal and Says
Order Is Void
Serves Notice on Mayor That
Battle to Retain Municipal
Job Will Be Waged
Under the protest of Thomas F. Boyle,
the late president of • the board of edu
cation. Thomas E. Hayden yesterday
took his seat as a member of the edu
cational board. Hayden was accompa
nied by Harry McKannay, who brought
the new appointee's portfolio and cre
dentials. . On his presentation to • the
board Director Joseph O'Connor: re
marked that Mayor Taylor had ex
pressed to him a desire that Hay-den
take his seat immediately.
O'Connor thereupon made a motion
that Hayden's credentials be spread
on the minutes, which was seconded by
Director Oliver and concurred in by the
rest of the board. Hayden then took
his seat to fill out the short term. -VvV
Previously to Hayden's appearance
Boyle served on the board the following
notice:
1. That my attempted removal from office as
a member of the board of education of the city
and county of San Francisco is void and' of no
effect, as being without legal cause.
2. That I hare not surrendered and do not
Intend to surrender my office as a member of
said board of education. '
3. That I am a member of Mid board, entitled
to participate ia all its proceedings, to exercise
all the functions of said office and to receive
its emoluments.
Boyle also" addressed and delivered
personally to McKannay, the mayor's
secretary, the following protest against
his removal and notice that he intend
ed to fight the action of the chief ex
ecutive. The communication reads:
San Francisco, Jan. 5, 1909
Honorable Edward R. Taylor, mayor of Use
fitr and county of San Francisco — Sir: Reply
ing to your communication of December 29,
HKJS, by which you attempted to remove me
from the board of education as a member
thereof. I beg to say: I hold office as a mem
ber of the board of education tinder the pre
vUlods of law for a term which has not. yet
expired, and from which I cannot be removed
hr too except for "cause," which, of course,
idV«m a lejtl cause, and not merely any cause
\u25a0which the removing power may think snf flcient-
Tbe rround* or causes assigned by you for
my attempted removal are:
1. That I still submit myself to the Influence
and advice of ex mayor Schmitz in the discharge
of my duties — a wholesale and general charge,
absolutely unspecific and stating merely a con
clusion. \u25a0 . ':j~ : -'
I beg to say \rith the greatest respect that
the charge is not true In point of fact, and to
rail yoor attention to the fact that no specific
Instance or act Is charged, and to assure you
that no specific instance or act of that character
can be truthfully charged. \u25a0 . \u25a0
2. .As to the charge that on a recent occasion
I gave ex mayor Schmitx a ride in "• a vehicle
with me down Van Xesa avenue, etc., I beg
to say that t*'« charge la too trivial to merit a
serious reply. In extending courtesy, which
one may without criticism extend to the veriest
beggar overtaken on the road, it cannot pos
sibly be a cause touching my qualifications for
the office I hold or the performance of Its
duties.
S. As to the charge that I have promoted
and secured as assistant . storekeeper for the
board of education my brother, and that the
place Is a sinecure for which there was no
necessity. I need only refer to the record In
thU natter In the archives of the board of
education, by which it appears by the report
of the said storekeeper that the necessity for
an assistant existed, and from which -It also
appears that the appointment of Mr. John J.
Boyle to the position of assistant storekeeper
was by resolution presented by Director O'Con
nor, seconded by Director Altmann and carried
unanimously. I can hardly believe that you
!nt«n<3ed to charge the entire board of educa
tion with having created a sinecure and ap
pointed an assistant where none was needed
for the sole purpone of providing a sinecure for
a favorite of the public treasury.
I beg to say that your said letter of December
29, 190 S. attempting to remove me from office
is absolutely nugatory; that no legal cause is
ascignt?d: that the pretended cause or causes
are in law no causes at all. and that the
attempt to remove me was and is Ineffectual j
and will be lgDored by me.
I beg to advise you that I have not sur
rendered and do not intend to surrender the
office which I hold a* a member of said board
of education, and that I still am and will
continue to be a member of the board of |
education until my tenure of office is legally i
terminated. * THOMAS F. BOYLE.
A member of the board «f education of the
city and county of San Francisco.
Mrs. kincaid Takes Office
Mrs. Mary Kincaid qualified for the
office of school director yesterday, and
with the exception of her colleague,
Thomas Hayden, was the only one of
the mayor's 10 appointees of the day
before to assume office.
"He wants the date file put on this
immediately." was the enigmatical ut-
Iterance of the mayor's messenger to;
the auditor's office yesterday when pre
senting Mrs. Klncaid's credentials.
"He" was the mayor, and it is under
stood that the reason for his precise
Instruction as well as the probable
cause of the commissioner's own
promptitude lay in the fact that an in
junction proceeding to debar Mrs. Kin
caid from taking office was not held
Impossible or even unlikely.
Among the malcontents who greeted
the announcement of her selection on
the school board with anything but en
thusiasm it was broadly hinted yester
day that Mrs. Kincaid could not be
termed a resident of San , Francisco in !
the charter sense. It was generally;
stated that her real home for the past j
three years had been in Berkeley and
that only during the past three months
had sh» been in fact living on this side
of the bay.
Yesterday's promptitude insures Mrs.
Kincaid all the advantages of- position,
and If anybody wants to fight they will
find her Intrenched and in possession
and with the mayor standing guard.
It is understood that Casey will be
kept in the president's chair; of [ the
board of works. Commissioners Day
and, McGilvray, whose , relations are
close and cordial, being content to be
tin power behind. Casey's term ex
pires one year hence. . /
• Dr. Ophuls also. will In all probabillty
be re-elected . president of the * health
board. His term likewise expires, in
January, 1910.
Faymonvllle "is supposed to be ' the
likely candidate in the board of fire
commissioners. The' various- commis
sions will meet tomorrow In regular or
special sessions for the seating of .the
new members and organization.

CONGRESS READY TO

Official Rebuke for Secret Serv

Adopted Today
Democrats and Republicans

tisement to Roosevelt
WASHINGTON. Jan. 6.— The bridle
has been taken off in the house of
representatives. . President I Roosevelt
will : get : his spanking Friday. The
Bpanking;will be given with a will and
the : congressmen have ' been told to go
as far as they like.
.\u25a0". The spanking committee met today
and came to an agreement. This agree
ment will be formally adopted at a
\u25a0final meeting to be held tomorrow,
when Chairman Perkins will submit the
report prepared by him to the full com
mittee for their .approval. The report
will then be made to the house. It
was originally planned to , do this to
morrow, '\u25a0" but so many members asked
the committee for more time in which
to prepare speeches that the' delay was
granted.'
This report .will, if adopted "as it
leaves- the committee's hands, officially
rebuke the president for that portion
of his message condemning congress
for classing its members with criminals
and for the activities of the
secret service^ by a provision inserted
in the sundry civil appropriation bilL
The rebuke may take the form of lay
ing the message, on the table and. Ig
noring it, or it may go further, and
expunge from, the journal that portion
of the message. The temper of the
house is to go to this length.'
The members of the committee. have
haggled over it, but the second mes
sage, even more violent than the first
paper, convinced the committee that
the president deserves the spanking.
Democrats and republicans have united
to chastise Roosevelt.
President Rebukes Senate
President Roosevelt today informed
the senate In plain terms that he had
approved the absorption of the Ten
nesseo coal and iron company, by the
United States steel corporation and had
instructed Attorney General Bonaparte
not to respond to the senate inquiry as
to the reason for his failure to prose
cute the steel company. , j
The president declares he does not
conceive -it* "to be within the authority
of the senate to give directions of this
character to the head of an executive
department." •
The message is in response 'to a
resolution introduced by Senator Cul
berson calling on the attorney general
to state whether he has brought an
action against the steel company be
cause of its acquisition of the Ten
nessee concern.
"While the \u25a0 resolption was . not di
rected to President Roosevelt, his at
tention was called to it by Attorney
General Bonaparte.
Commenting on the attorney general's
letter the. president says:
As to the transaction In question. I. was per
sonally cognizant and responsible for: its every
detail. For the Information of the senate I tran
mit a copy of a letter sent br me to the attor
ney general November A. MOT, as follows:
"My - Dear Attorney 'General^- JadgvE.-:- H.
Gary and n. C. Frick, , on behalf of the steel
corporation, have- just called upon me. \ They
state that there Is a certain business firm (rhe
name of wtich I have not been told," but which
Is of real . importance in New Yort business cir
cles), which will undoubtedly fall this . week if
help Is not given. Among its assets are a ma
jority of the securities of the Tennessee coal
company. Application, has been • urgently made
to the steel corporation to purchase this stock
as the only means of avoiding a failure. Judge
Gary and Mr. Frick Informed me that as a mere
business transaction they do not care, to pur
chase the stock; that under ordinary circum
stances they would not | consider purchasing the
stock, as but little benefit will come to the
steel corporation from . the purchase; that they
are aware that the purchase will be used a* a
handle for attack upon them on the ground that
they are striving to secure a monopoly of the
business and prevent competition — not that this
would represent what could honestly be said,
but what might recklessly and untruthfully be
said. '
'•They Informed me that as a matter of fact the
policy of the company has been to decline to
acquire more than 60 per cent of the steel
properties, and that this purpose bag been per
*evered in for several years pa«t with the ob
ject of preventing' the- acquisitions, and as a
matter of fact their proportion of steel proper
ties has Fllghtly- decreased, so that It is below
this 60 per cent and the acquisition of the
property in question will not r%Ne it above <W
per cent. But they feel it Is Immensely to their
Interest, as to the Interest of every responsible
businessman, to try to prevent a panic and pen
eral industrial smashup at this - time and that
they are willing to ,go Into this transaction,
which they would not otherwise go into, because
It seems the opinion of those beet fitted to er
press judgment in Xew, York that It would be
'an important' factor In preventing a break that
might be ruinous; and that this has been ur?ed
upon them by the commission of the most re
*pon?lble bankers ;In New York, t who are now
thus engaged In endeavoring to save the situa
tion. But they ass<>n<>d that tUpy did not wish
to do this If I stated that It ought not to be
doa». \u25a0 ' -,•':-. : \u25a0\u25a0"•\u25a0
.. "I answered Ibat while, of course. T could not
fcdvlw them to take th«_sctlon proposed. I frit It
no public dntyof mine to Interpose any objec
tion. Sincerely' your*. % I • .
"THEODORE KOOSEVELT.
"'Hon. Charles J. Bonaparte. Attorney General."
After sending, thin letter I was advlswl orally
by the attorney general I that, in his opinion, no
sufficient ground existed for . legal proceedings
against the steel corporation, and that the situa
tion had been now ay changed Uy Its acquisition
of the Tennessee coal and Iron 'company. . .
I have thus, given to the senate all the in
formation in the possession of the executive de
partment which appears to me to be material or
relevent : on the •:\u25a0 subject of \u25a0 the resolution. I
feol bound, however, to " add that \u25a0\u25a0'_ I have in
structed the attorney general not to respond to
that potrion of the resolution which calls for a
statement of his reasons for nonactlon. I have
done so because I do not conceive it to be within
the authority of. the senate to give directions of
this character to the I head of an executive de
partment or to' demand from him reasons for his
action. lies ils of the executive departments are
subject to * the constitution and to the laws

carrying off the masses of • debris
around the foot of the structure pre
paratory to scaffolding.
Bids for the removal of the remain
ing portion of the Larkin street front
age of the city hall were also adver
tised by the board of works, to be
opened January 20. The successful con
tractor will be allowed 240 days to
clear away the structure, which Is also
the time limit upon Abbitt.
The demurrer of the city attorney
to the suit of Frank J. Sullivan seek
ing to prevent the city authorities from
demolishing the dome of the city hall
was sustained yesterday., and Sullivan
was given 10 days in which to amend
his complaint. This decision by the
judge was only what was expected in
view of his refusal the day before to
issue a restraining order. Although
given 10 ' days In which to ; amend his
complaint, Sullivan effected the neces
sary alterations yesterday and filed the
bill in the afternoon. It differs from
the former complaint chiefly in that it
alleges the tearing- down of the' city
hall dome has already begun, and that
the Injury to him as : a tax payer is
imminent. Sullivan : states that he will
appeal from the order of the court
denying him an injunction.
